I was there this spring, and the thought of this and other protected spaces being opened to development or drilling or any other purpose that this administration deems appropriate (and that will undoubtedly lead to further enriching the president) is depressing/sickening.

Since taking office, Ken Paxton has skipped at least 730 workdays as Attorney General. He has instead traveled to Europe and the Caribbean.

A young black guy in Mississipi who complained 2 police countless times about white men following him from home & college & being racist. His skull & spine was found in a field 3 months later. Police said it was suicide. He was the 71st lynched black person since Drumpf came back in2 office. 73+ now

The thing about ICE is that eventually it WILL be abolished. I don't know if it will be in 5 years or 50 years but it will happen. With certainty. And when it does, it will be remembered along the securitate, Stasi, etc, and so will the people who served there.

It would be more than a little ironic if Trump's CNN/MS NOW/Politico tantrum (and the resulting lack of coverage the entire WHCA is going to provide) is what finally educates the press about the extent to which Trump needs *them* even more than they need him.

How many people realize that "down-ballot" races-for local leaders & issues-are the most important? High-profile national ones get the attention, but it's town councils, school boards, state legislators, etc. whose actions most impact us. All politics really are LOCAL. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money. That's Dolly.
